How to avoid Airbnb listing suspension!

The Airbnb listing suspension epidemic is a thing of the past! To prevent this from happening to you, make sure that your listings are up-to-date and safe.

Here's how:

¶ Disclose all cameras and monitoring devices. Devices such as your security cameras, noise monitoring, and temperature monitoring devices need to be fully disclosed in your listing description.

¶ Prevent parties and illegal gatherings at your rental

¶ Know your local municipality rules on STRs aka Airbnb laws

¶ Keep an eye on your overall Host ratings e.g. response rate, accepted reservations, and cancellations. Maintaining low overall ratings. Slow response time. A few accepted reservations or too many cancellations.

¶ Avoid guest cancellations as much as possible.

¶ Ensure habitable standards by being proactive on pest control, deep cleaning, etc

¶ Be responsive to communications from Airbnb.

¶ Follow up with guest communication and complaints.

¶ Ensure you are familiar with Airbnb's Terms of Service. Violating any of Airbnb’s TOS can get you kicked off the platform.

Suspension of your listing can occur at any time if you break any of these rules—even unknowingly. And it can be difficult to be reinstated after that. Sometimes, hosts are unaware of why their account has been temporarily or permanently banned.

The consequences of a suspended listing can be too many and may include cancelling all existing guest reservations and rebooking them elsewhere. This will mean a huge setback and loss of revenue for you as a host. Hence, preventing the above instances will beneficially prevent your listing from getting deactivated.

How to appeal an Airbnb listing suspension?

Hosts can appeal listing suspensions on the Airbnb platform. At cohostmyplace.com, we not only ensure that your listings are properly cohosted, but we also ensure that you are making the most from your rental. For new hosts, you can get connected with our free guided onboarding service at www.airbnb.com/r/hostambassador

Lastly, in case you are unsuccessful with the suspension appeal or you are permanently banned from Airbnb, don't stress; you still have alternatives! There are other ways to keep your property’s income rolling. Airbnb is only one of several home-sharing platforms, so this could be an opportunity to promote your listing elsewhere. Booking.com, Home Away, VRBO, Tripadvisor, and Flipkey are just a few sites where you can upload your property.
